Here's a great group doing Let The Sunshine in:

As Barry notes, live as it should be:

a lot of things get stuck in my head when I'am in bed and this song was one of them by Danny Kaye: Although I read some Hans Christian Anderson fairy tales, I still like the Brothers Grimm better:

Now, remembering my ancestral property as I stood on Afton mountain, I also think of Swannanoah (now closed to the public.

.

Oops, no h on that home on Afton Mountain.

Here's an interesting song, but first some information:

"Oh Shenandoah" (also called simply "Shenandoah" or "Across the Wide Missouri") is a traditional American folk song of uncertain origin, dating at least to the early 19th century.

The song appears to have originated with Canadian and American voyageurs or fur traders traveling down the Missouri River in canoes, and has developed several different sets of lyrics. Some lyrics refer to the Native American chief "Shenandoah" (Oskanondonha) and a canoe-going trader who wants to marry his daughter. By the mid 1800s versions of the song had become a sea shanty heard or sung by sailors in various parts of the world.

I think what we hear is an Irish whistle:

Ah, I was hoping my long time friend Roger would play something here. Hope he is alright.

I think Gurda's daughter is the one who was inspired by Anthony LaPaglia.

Here is a brief tribute to him and I will never understand why ION removed Without a Trace. Ah me. It was Danny/Dutchy who told me he was from Australia. <another sniff>

and, y'all, a short poem that I like:


Love is not a thing to understand.
Love is not a thing to feel.
Love is not a thing to give and receive.
Love is a thing only to become
And eternally be.

- Sri Chinmoy

Hope all is welll in France, Scotland, and England.

Going to say good afternoon now..........

From Letty with love to the world

Two new ones from JT.


Angels of Fenway


Snowtime

Good morning, Latin George. As you know, I love James Taylor, but did not know Angel of Fenway or Snowtime. Once again, thanks for the introduction.

Here is his signature piece, dear friend.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ALnh3w32VE

The young woman that he is referring to is one who took her own life.

Sweet Baby James:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iSkaEP2ZqbY

That may be taken from Rockabye Baby in the Tree Top.

As you and I both know, James was a drug addict at one time.

"Angels of Fenway" and "Snowtime" are from his new (June 2015) album Before This World.

Ah, my Latin friend, I didn't know that. You continue to amaze me with your musical knowledge.

How about two songs for the morning here.

First Grieg:

Now, Carly and James:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4WM_R-6AKHE

I didn't sleep too well last evening because another terrible storm broke bad on me here.

A couple of songs for high noon here:

First, as I told dlowan once, I had no idea that the kookaburra was a bird.

Here it is:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UXA0-YAoo9Q

Now, some more birds.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kNuQPTzuof4

Once again looking back at happier times:

Smooth jazz trio:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0fZ8gtVwO0

Now, the lyrics:

Autumn in New York
Why does it seem so inviting?
Autumn in New York
It spells the thrill of first-knighting
Glittering crowds and shimmering clouds
In canyons of steel
They're making me feel
I'm home
It's autumn in New York
That brings the promise of new love
Autumn in New York
Is often mingled with pain
Dreamers with empty hands
May sigh for exotic lands
It's autumn in New York
It's good to live it again
Lovers that bless the dark
On benches in Central Park
It's autumn in New York
It's good to live it again

Where are all of out music lovers, painters, and poets? Hope you will keep us going here:

Back later as I'm having a few problems in our Florida radio station.

Ah, me, Guess I will say good afternoon now.

I remember what I played on Neko's Liberty Valence forum, it was this one:

Poor Vivian Leigh:

and another

Hope my dear friend Roger is alright.

From Letty with love to the world

Hey, Letty, that jazz trio really mellowed me out.

Here's a guy who seldom does mellow.


Dr. John -- (Everybody Wanna Get Rich) Rite Away

And as long as we're in Loozianne . . .


Professor Longhair -- Misery

Good early morning from our Florida radio station. I was awakened early by a huge full moon sinking in the west.

Latin George, thanks for your comment on that jazz trio, and I loved Dr. John and Professor Long Hair. They are both right, incidentally.

You hurry back, my long time friend.It's Friday here.

Remembering happier times again. My late husband introduced me to this great quartet: Miss you Ellinas.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6nnlRdPSf8

Long live our company, too:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TmA1qITB5Aw

Welcome back, dear friend, and I love Fleetwood Mac doing Oh Well.

Here's one to match:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dAefTj7GXwQ

Hurry back, Tsar.

Two songs for almost high noon here.

First, one that captivated me

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O1eOsMc2Fgg

Then, I discovered it was about that wonderful performer, Don McLean.

Now, Ray:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7C0ca55mgFM

a lot of folks did that one, y'all.

Calling England; Calling France; Calling Scotland:

Here's dear Glen:

I think most of us know that the Russians defeated Napoleon by retreating, then he had to retreat. He died of stomach cancer while in interment.
